Sajda
Mash’Allah! Today my 9-month old did sajda. She’d done it yesterday as well, but I thought I was seeing things. Today it was confirmed.
She crawls around nearby as I pray salat and I usually say it audibly so that she can benefit. Today I noticed that as I went down for sajda, so did she (though with her whole head, arms and torso touching the floor). And when I said allahuakbar for ruku she also did sajda.
Pretty funny to see a small baby, who does not even walk or talk yet, imitating me in prayer. Made me realize how important it is to stay steadfast in prayer and let my children see this.
Masha’Allah, that is so beautiful. I have a 22 month old and a 10 month old who also like to make sajdah alongside me or my husband, masha’Allah. There grandparents also brought them a mini prayer mat which is so cute. Now my older daughter (4 years) and my 22 month old daughter love getting dressed up in a khimar to make salat LOL!!
